Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), former vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that Soviet eavesdropping on U.S. telephones has “practically compromised our entire communications system” through interceptions of conversations transmitted by microwave. Moynihan is sponsor of an amendment to the 1986 Justice Department appropriations bill that would require the FBI to spend at least $1 million to study Soviet interception methods.
